    This is the same response I gave to someone else on the forum with a similar problem.

    I read up on this issue and waking up in the middle of the night like that is usually a low blood sugar issue. (nothing to do with diabetes) I was able to go to sleep at night and sleep a couple of hours but kept waking up about 2am or so. After I researched it and found out about the low BS issue, I decided to check my blood sugar the next time I woke up like that. I am not diabetic, but we had a diabetic dog so I have all the equipment here. I tested my blood when I woke up at 2:30am and it was 60…. way too low and that was what woke me up. The solution to this problem was to have a small carb with protein at bedtime…. a small cracker with turkey or cheese on it. That will keep your blood sugar stable, if that is your issue…. so that you don’t wake up. Give it a try. I hope this is your problem because this will fix it!
